Abu Minqar in Egypt, Turns Desert Into "Green" Farmland
Wednesday, January 9, 2008
Who says dessert cannot grow crops. This farming village of Abu Minqar in Egypt is a big proof. The barren dessert before now turns into a lush green farmland.
LinkThe village is one of the extreme examples of the country's plan to "green" its deserts and transform the barren areas that consume most of the landscape into productive farms and fields.
Though the policy has been going for decades, it is now achieving large-scale success.
Close to the Libyan border, Abu Minqar is far more remote than majority of desert farmland in Egypt. Its existence is proof that Egypt can set up farms anywhere.
